LRC Executives Commit to Two More Years

March 2017LRC Executives Commit to Two More Years

Executives and Electeds from the Levee Ready Columbia partnership meet and commit to staying at the table for the next two years, funding the program between June 2017 and June 2019, continuing to develop a potential alternative governance structure, supporting a legislative request of $10 million for the State’s IFA levee fund, and committing to quickly responding if FEMA accelerates the accreditation timeline.

Levee Ready Columbia is a partnership of over 20 organizations committed to a collaborative approach to floodplain management and modernizing the 27-mile levee system along the Columbia River in urban Multnomah County. We will make the most of opportunities to reduce the risk of flooding for an area critical to the region’s future while working to improve the environment and recreational value of the managed floodplain.
